How to get the best deal on hotels when buying F1 tickets
June 17, 2025
Regarding the Dutch Grand Prix, selecting the right lodging can either enhance or ruin your weekend. The race takes place at the beautiful Circuit Zandvoort—just a short jaunt from the beach—so you've got a bunch of different accommodation choices in both Zandvoort and Amsterdam, the two most fan-friendly cities close to the venue. Your options stretch from camping at the track to crashing in a five-star hotel room in the capital. Whether you go cheap or lavish, here are some tips for nailing down a spot to stay over the race weekend.
Zandvoort hosts the circuit and is excellent for fans who want to be near the track as much as possible. It’s a vibrant seaside town with a party vibe all weekend long—but with a small hotel supply and fierce demand, prices go up quickly.
Only 30 minutes by train, Amsterdam offers far greater variety across all price levels. Many fans choose to stay in the city for the value, the nightlife, and the easy access to transport.
For those aiming to maintain a tight budget, both Amsterdam and Zandvoort present reasonable options; however, both places fill up with surprising speed.
Camping is the clear choice for fans who want to stay near the circuit in Zandvoort. The official fan campground right next to the track is the 538 Dutch GP Village. There, you can stay in a tent you brought along or sleep in a lodge that was already set up before your arrival. You'll enjoy not just the proximity to the event, but also a vibrant fan community and entertainment with a festival atmosphere. If camping isn't your style, consider a nearby independent campground, like Camping De Duinrand or Camping Zeeweg 7.
Mid-range hotels and rentals are a popular choice when traveling. For medium prices, they provide a nice mix of amenities and comfort. Then can give a traveler a good night’s sleep without feeling robbed when settling the bill.
In Zandvoort, you can experience the luxury of beachfront hotels such as Hotel Zeespiegel or Beachhouse Hotel. For families or larger groups, Center Parcs Zandvoort offers self-catering lodges. Besides that, you'll find plenty of vacation rentals available in Zandvoort but be sure to book ahead as they tend to fill up fast for the F1 weekend.
In the Amsterdam area, 3–4 stars hotels such as the Park Plaza Victoria, INK Hotel, and NH City Centre offer both style and convenience near the train station. Chain hotels like Mercure and Motel One have reliable accommodations slightly outside the center but near metro lines. Vacation apartments are a wonderful alternative—perfect for groups or couples who want to prepare their own meals and stay in a quieter area.
If comfort, exclusivity, and a hint of luxury are your top priorities, there are some clear front-runners.
The NH Zandvoort Hotel lies directly across from the track entrance and frequently accommodates F1 team members. The Palace Hotel, along with a handful of high-end B&Bs, provides lovely views of the North Sea, but these book out fast and come at a premium.
In Amsterdam, you will find an abundance of luxurious hotels. Among them are the Anantara Grand Hotel Krasnapolsky, the W Amsterdam, and Kimpton De Witt, just a stone's throw from Centraal Station. If brand-name luxury is your bet, opt for the Waldorf Astoria, the InterContinental Amstel, or Sofitel Legend; all are nearly as close and more than capable of providing a pampered experience.
If you are basking in the beach atmosphere of Zandvoort or taking in Amsterdam's electrifying nightlife, you can squeeze the most value out of your weekend at the Dutch Grand Prix by doing a little planning—and a lot of smart booking. There is a wide variety of places to stay, from campsites and hostels to boutique hotels and luxury suites. Just make sure to secure your lodgings early and wise up on your travel to and from the tracks.
